wmw999 2,507 #27 June 2, 2006 QuoteBut the original spirit of the thread was to help people learn to spell things correctlyActually, you in Australia (and GB etc) can consider that list to be a spelling test, rather than a list of correctly-spelled words. Just pick out and re-spell the incorrect ones. See? Problem solved. Turn that frown upside down (insert smarmy adage in here).
